Most correct way to say Alicia

[victorianababy]

A lissia or Aleesha or something else? It is going to put me off the name if it turns out to be the second pronunciation.
help as it is one of the few I like!!

a-lease-e-a

llaregubb (I really had to think about typing that), I did the same with Malory Towers. Was grown up before I realised it wasn't A licky a.

Al-lissia, or possibly Al-leesia. But NEVER Aleesha!

Aleesha isn't a name at all!

Al-lee-thia?

Alicia = Alice-ia

Aleesha would be spelled Alysha IMO and IME

So how do you all say Acacia?

My mother is A li cia

I was certain I would pronounce Alicia as Alis i a but then I thought I pronounce Tricia as Trish a. Very confuing

Dd1 is Alicia, pronounced A-liss-iya.

I also teach Alicias pronounced Aleesha & Aleesia, MT - not to mention an Ellicia. Dd1 tends not to get it mispronounced, but we've had some interesting spelling variations! [grin}

& dd2 is Mathilda, so clearly we are forever doomed to spellcheck hell...

Hi

Much prefer Alice i a pronunciation rather than Alee sh a

x

I'd definaintely pronounce it A-Liss-e-ya

But I know 2 babies called A-leash-sha and I just think its a very harsh pronunciation

Very common name in Spanish, where it's pronounced A leessia

Well my sister is called Alicia so I consider myself an authority. We pronounce it AL-ISS-EE-AH

Alicia's Attic - they pronounce it Aleesha

branflake - yes my old (I mean former) boss was called Alicia pronounced a-liss-eeya. And I know an Alisha, pronounces a-leesha, so never considered them connected names...

I have taught:
an Al-eeth-ia
an Al-eesh-ia
an Al-eesha
and an Al-iss-ia

All spelt Alicia.

I myself am called Alicia and my name is pronounced Ah-liss-ee-ah, but I've only ever met one other Alicia whose name is spelt and pronounced the same as mine!

I knew an Alicia at school and she was
A-liss-ia. I always thought that how it should be, but I guess you always go with what you know. I know Americans say Aleesha. But then they can't say Graham/Graeme. They say GRAM. And they also can't say Craig. They say CREG. Very weird! (No offence to any Americans online! )

Aleesha, but I'm foreign

How do you pronounce Tricia?

I would prounounce it Al-is-ee-ah

Alicia = ah-lee-see-ah
Alisha = aaa-lishh-ah so depends on the spelling - but I am South England n thanks to Eastenders baby beeing called Alisha = aaaahleeeeshhhhaaaah.
